According to DICE, "The new dirt bike is without a doubt the star of capture the Flag." Some info from this is that there will be a system where if your flag isn't at your base, you cannot capture the enemy flag, only take it. According to this blog post, capturing a flag is instantaneous, but recovering a lost flag is similar to capturing a flag in Conquest, where you have to wait for a ticker to let you pick it up. The amount of friendlies in the area will make it go faster. Once you capture it, it teleports back to your base. The dirt bike makes for good quick get aways but according to DICE you are open to any fire (as if someone is going to perfectly lead and kill you before you get away).Also in the blog, it says the hotspots around the map are always changing with where the flag is.

Still no Air Superiority info, except the premium exclusive trailer and the short bit from the reveal.
